The Aura EP Carrillo Shengxiao Limited Edition cigar collection was created to honor the Chinese Zodiac. Each specially designed box comes with 12 cigars that symbolizes the 12 animals in the Chinese Zodiac. Each cigar has its own blend that captures the essence of the animal it represents. The blends were specially selected by Ernesto Perez-Carrillo, and they are made from tobaccos there were allowed to age for five years so they could develop their unique flavor profile. The cigars come in a collectible handcrafted mahogany box along with a humidifier and a set of cards that explains the blend for each cigar and the animal it signifies. The cigars are handmade in the Dominican Republic at the Tabacalera Alianza factory, which is owned and operated by Ernesto Perez-Carrillo.
